Guesthouse vacation rentals in Connacht

Our 4-night stay was fabulous. Our two-bedroom lodging was lovely, and the picturesque grounds surrounding Crumlin Park House are beautiful. It was quiet and peaceful— yet Galway is just a 30-minute drive away. Maura and John are friendly and helpful hosts. I highly recommend staying here.

Marshall’s place is incredibly beautiful. It was the perfect place for three couple to stay. Marshall met us and gave us a quick tour of the place. She is super nice! Marshall’s place is an easy drive into Galway. I would highly recommend this place.

We had a lovely stay at Emma's property. She was very communicative and the premises was very peaceful. We would happily recommend to other guests.

We felt very comfortable. Especially the bedroom under the roof. It was very cozy and the bed was the best we've had so far on our 2-week trip to Ireland. The kitchen is very well equipped with plenty of dishes and cutlery. We enjoyed it very much. Thanks very much. 🙋‍♀️

Wonderful apartment and host! The apartment was clean and kitchen was stocked with every needed for preparing meals. Gael’s home is in a picturesque village and a quick walk to the grocery store and local pub/restaurant. I definitely recommend walking to Egan’s Pub for a pint or delicious home cooked meal! I am already looking forward to my staying at Gael’s on my next vacation!

We had a very peaceful and relaxing few days at Greg and Annie’s beautiful place in the trees on Mountshannon. Our hosts were helpful and friendly, their knowledge and enthusiasm for the area were an encouragement, to explore more than just our main objective (which was to visit Holy Island Inis Cealtra on Loch Derg). Also… best shower ever!

Lucy is the best host I’ve met since I Started with Airbnb in 2013. She offered so much of her valuable local expertise, her home and her baked goods! She met us at the gate upon arrival and was always available to us. I love her farmhouse home: Rustic, smart, green, clean and filled with so many homey touches and cozy accountrements. The gardens and hot houses are bursting with life and some delicious fruits and veggies are available off the bush. A one of kind gem if you like nature and rustic living. Airbnb should feature this home as a prime example of the best types of experiences available on their platform.

We were planning a day-long trip to inishmore so I booked Fiona’s place, which is located just a few minutes from the ferry station. The cottage is beautifully decorated, very cozy and functional. We had everything we needed to get a good rest before our inishmore hike and to comfortably recover from our adventure and get on with our trip through western Ireland. Thank you, Fiona!

The cottage was first class, absolutely gorgeous and so clean, on arrival we were welcomed by Ivor who was extremely welcoming and explained everything, we were also left buns which were delicious thank you. I would describe it as a hidden gem, just 1st class, we will definitely be back to explore the town & surrounding areas. Thank you Ivor and family

Irene's place is a hidden gem- walkable distance to a fabulous local gastropub, it was just what we were looking for, and Irene couldn't have been a better host!

Beautiful nicely decorated cozy chalet with a lot of amenities to keep you comfortable. Mary Anne and Peadar were lovely hosts who also made sure that we had a beautifully lit christmas tree and decorations for the festive season and made sure we stayed well stocked up with wood pellets for the stove fire to keep warm for the cold winter nights. Thank you for the perfect stay.

we had the most amazing weekend staying at Geraldines cottage! from the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The cottage was super cozy and clean. One of the highlights was definitely the hot tub, after along day of relaxing and exploring, it was the perfect place to unwind.

Nice quiet place, pleasant host, well organized cottage.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with James and Hazel. The accommodation left nothing to be desired. The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful. We would come back anytime and highly recommend booking this accommodation. Best regards, Alexandra and Thomas

Absolutely wonderful little house for a small family. My husband and two daughters (14 &12) adored this place and location. The Mountain View from the bed with the French doors was absolutely perfect. Sarah and Glynn and their dog puppy were gracious hosts and the house was clean and perfect location to lay your head at night and venture out during the day. Awesome shower with on demand hot water as well. Nice addition with their deer pets right outside as well. Sarah and Glynn also were very knowledgeable about all the must sees in the area.

Had the privilege to stay in the Burren chalet for 2 nights. Frank welcomed me and showed me around in a very straightforward and clear way. The chalet has everything one might need, even a wash machine for those who need one! The chalet was spotless, just perfect, and decorated with lovely colourful paintings. The surroundings are of the same caliber, with the magical Burren karst only a few steps away, literally at your door step! You can wander and loose yourself in the peaceful hills and, if in season, meander through the unique flora of the Burren. Frank’s house and garden are beautiful and Dante the dog and Beatrice the cat very friendly. All in all, a great find which I will not hesitate to go back to.

We had a thoroughly delightful stay at Sadie’s Bird’s Nest. The cottage is comfortable, well-decorated and fully equipped. Sadie went above and beyond, providing homemade treats (warm, fresh-baked bread, jam, eggs from her chickens, and more). We enjoyed picking delicious snap peas, loganberries and lettuce from her well-tended garden. Our stay was a memorable one, made so by our exceptionally friendly, helpful and welcoming host, Sadie.

I had a great stay! It was clean, quiet, and had everything we needed. Catherine and Ian were responsive and flexible with check in/check out. Their dog is also very friendly and we loved being greeted upon arrival :) While the location is lovely, it is not in the middle of town on Pearse Street as the listing indicates. As a result, it would be helpful to have a car here as it's a 6 minute drive from Ballina.

Alison was a great host! She gave us the insider info on the best things to do. The place was gorgeous and we were welcomed with snacks and a smile.

Very nice, beautiful and comfortable

We loved our stay here. The cottage was immaculate, all the amenities provided were perfect. We felt very spoilt with the treats our host left us. Only a 15 min drive in to Galway yet we felt like we were in the countryside. So peaceful! Would highly recommend this place, you will not be disappointed!

A really lovely stay in a very peaceful location yet only a 20 minute walk to town. The accommodation was spotless, the kitchen well equipped, the bedrooms spacious and a relaxing,spacious kitchen/lounge area. Thank you Michael and Olivia, we’d come again.

The Lane was a lovely stay! Very charming, and the location was perfect. We used it as a home base for traveling around Galway, but it’s still walkable to the heart of the city, too! As a historic home, it has plenty of character and makes for a perfect introduction to Ireland. Just a heads-up for those sensitive to air quality: there was a slight, damp, musty smell typical of older buildings, so some may find the air a bit stuffy. Overall, I'm glad we stayed at The Lane!

Beautiful home with very peaceful surroundings. The 3 golden labs were super cute! The burren national park was a great hike and super close to visit the Cliff of Moher. We loved the spacious home and would recommend to anyone!
